According to The Star, Josh Maja will feature for Sunderland against Doncaster Rovers away from home this evening despite not training on Monday.

Sunderland will take on Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium in League One in a few hours’ time.

The Star has reported that Maja did not train on Monday in order to be fit for the match this evening, with the young forward claimed to have been struggling with a niggling ankle injury.

Boost for Sunderland

Maja is one of the best young forwards in League One and is a key figure in Jack Ross’s Sunderland set-up.

The 19-year-old has scored nine goals and provided one assist in 13 League One appearances for Sunderland so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

Doncaster are a good team and are doing well at the moment, and if Maja is fit to play and start the match, then it will be a massive boost to Sunderland’s chances of picking up all three points from the encounter at the Keepmoat Stadium this evening.
